Thoughts
The bad news here is that I can only see this offer targeted to the Blue Business® Plus Credit Card from American Express and not to any of my consumer cards, so it may be that this is a narrowly targeted offer.
It may also be an offer limited to Amex business cards even though that’s not mentioned in the terms and conditions.
The good news is that if you’ve been targeted, this is a nice offer to which to have access.
The total number of points/dollar you’ll earn by using this offer will depend on the Membership Rewards card to which you load the offer, but 3,600 bonus points is the maximum any single cardholder can earn.
As far as I can see, there’s no reason to think that Amazon gift card purchases and reloads will not trigger this offer as the terms and conditions only rule out corporate gift cards and custom-designed gift cards.
That should make it pretty easy to make sure that you don’t leave any points behind.
The Blue Business® Plus Credit Card from American Express ordinarily earns 2 points/dollar on up to $50,000 of spending per year (1 point/dollar thereafter), and that makes it the best card to use with this offer (most other Amex cards will only earn 1 point/dollar for Amazon spending).
A $150 purchase from Amazon charged to my Blue Business Plus card would trigger this offer and would earn me a total of 1,500 points (300 points from the regular earning rate and 1,200 bonus points), and as I value Membership Rewards points at 1.5 cents each (based on the value that I know I can get out of them with relative ease), I would view that as an effective return of $22.50 or 15%.
That’s a pleasingly healthy return and it’s a return that I could guarantee simply by purchasing a $150 gift card.
I won’t, however, be doing that just yet.
Because this offer can be triggered by making multiple transactions (and because I can trigger it up to 3 times), I’m going to wait and see how much organic Amazon spending I’ve put on my targeted card by, say, 20 October (5 days before the offer ends) and then buy whatever value gift card I need to to make sure that I earn the full 3,600 bonus points that are on offer.
Given how much Amazon spending our household seems to do, I’m going to go ahead and guess that the value of the gift card probably won’t be very high (I may not even have to buy a gift card at all).
Bottom line
American Express is currently targeting cardholders with an offer to earn 1,200 bonus Membership Rewards points when they spend at least $150 though Amazon.com (the offer can be triggered up to three times).
Cardholders should choose which of their targeted cards they load the offer with care to as some cards will offer a better return than others.
